Here's a very rare Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro at Sycamore a few months ago.  1 of 150 brought to the US, there's also a yellow one running around the area. Here's a McLaren 720S cruising around

Throwback sighting to something very rare, even by Charlotte standards.  On a nice early June evening in 2016, I was driving through Southpark when I caught a glimpse of this Porsche 918 Spyder on Sha

FWIW, the red Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio lurking in the background is a much rarer car (but lower MSRP that the Benz)

That Nissan Altima is also a unicorn...it appears to not have fenders falling off nor a cracked windshield.  Maybe even a non-temporary tag!

Saw this V-8 Mercedes sports coupe  up in Mooresville today.   What is the deal with this @nicholasplease enlighten me.  what are we talking about in price etc?

Mercedes-AMG GT, possibly GT C or GT S but hard to tell for sure. Starts at about $120k for the base GT and goes all the way up to $325k for the top of the line Black Series.  Hopefully the Nissan didn't crash into it on its way out.

Saw an honest-to-god Delorean uptown today, I think that’s the first one I’ve ever seen in person.

I had to scroll back because I distinctly remembered this car had been mentioned before in this discussion. Must be the same person! That was a beautiful car to see in person…

I saw it today on Graham St around 430!  A really clean example.  Looks like they just drove it off the showroom floor.

seen out west somewhere but you maybe able to guess.  a lowrider on the freeway! I think it was a Kia is that kosher? 

and an American Muscle car.  It is true this will be discontinued?

Low Bois is a Ford Focus sedan, circa 2010.  And the Corvette isn’t going to be discontinued, but the next (C9) model will be driven electrically.  They just came out with that mid-engined C8 a couple years ago. And not that it matters to anyone, but I liked the promise of a mid-engined Vette more than I like the execution.  It’s thick and chunky/clunky to me.  I prefer the C7.  Great proportions.

Every single time I see that mid-engined Vette from afar I think "Sweet, an exotic supercar, I wonder what it is" and then it turns out to be that.

Maybe not "Exotic" because its made in Bowling Green, but it certainly is a super car.  Z06 - 194mph top speed  and 0-60 in 2.6.   Those are McLaren numbers.

Reddit user pillz2billz caught some pictures of the Rimac Nevera in South End.  $2 million dollar Croatian electric hypercar that is the fastest accelerating production car currently. I believe there are only going to be 150 made, so it's a super rarer find.

^^^ That was for sure a rare spotting.  Thats a dealer tag correct? 

This one is rare as well in the US a Toyota made Century  from the website

""A full model change in June 2018 led to the development of the third-generation Century, which remains Japan's only chauffeur-driven automobile.""

seen in Hilton Head  and it was in the British driving style with the steering wheel on the right.
